Are You Linked In But Outdated?

By Zachary Durst

When working with health IT executives today, I notice that one the most important components of their professional profiles is often outdated and incomplete – their LinkedIn accounts. In today’s hyper-connected world, it is LinkedIn that acts as the first window into your professional work and thought leadership.

LinkedIn is not just for recruiters and search consultants like myself, but is the representation of your personal brand as a thought leader and executive. This means that keeping your LinkedIn profile up-to-date is even more important than updating your resume as it’s oftentimes the first thing your peers, recruiters, potential employers and those looking to partner with you will seek out.
